Auto accident caused by box falling off of truck.

Man behind that hit him was going 30 (the speed limit) and was following at the dmv's suggested rate of 3 car lengths should not automatically get blamed especially when man in car hit was the one that stopped for an empty box he may have been responsible for loading improperly and also knows it was empty.
I don't think that driver b should always take blame. Driver a should have not stopped dead for a box. On a 70 mile per hour hwy you see people swirve all the time for boxes in the road... why not now? Why does driver b take it all?

Jesus christ woman, do you have a brain?!?!?!?

At 30 mpg 3 cars length is PLENTY to stop dead. 1 car per 10mph. So at 70 to be safe you have to keep 7 car's length. Did your husband? No. Why?

The driver may not have swerved BECAUSE THERE WAS CARS ON THE SIDE OF HIM. Jesus Christ. I hope your husband is not as dumb as you are.

So what you're saying is that you are not supposed to slam the brakes in case of emergency because there may be an idiot like YOU following too closely?

I guess they're right, common sense is not that common.

At least try to shut up now and save whatever face you had left.

Not true my friend....
I did rearend someone in my younger days while checking my mirrors, I thought I would have gotten a ticket but didn't.

You can't drive on top of that either. It takes a second or two to CHECK your mirrors, not keep driving and staring at them. A second or two will not make a difference in you rear ending someone if YOU ARE KEEPING ENOUGH DISTANCE.

You are LUCKY you did not get a ticket. However if you look at the CAUSE of the accident you will see: following too closely.

"checking my mirrors" means putting on make-up while driving.
